Institute of rare earth metals
Rare earth elements – Strategic metals – High-purity metals – Isotopes
The Institute for Rare Earth Elements and Metals has been determining prices for all rare earth elements, their oxides, base metals, minor metals, exotic metals, and stable isotopes since 2011. From this database, we prepare valuations and bank audits for all metals and elements in these groups. We analyze metals at the highest technical level and arrange the transport, storage, and insurance of high-purity metals. Since 2018, we have operated a trading platform for rare earths and high-purity metals. We support the monetization of valuable metals.
